Hi,
Of course, each car is an individual. But:
Hondas have rated "very good" or better on all makes and models of that are still tracked by CR and others. That gives me some confidence.
The hybrid specific components have an 8/80,000 warranty, which is either a loss leader or a statement of confidence on their part. That adds to the confidence.
There are four of Honda dealers within 32 miles of me. As well as a number of repair shops that deal with Hondas (but maybe not with hybrids). That puts a safety net under the confidence.
Ask me again in ten years or so. If by then I've bought another Hybrid, then it couldn't have been too bad :)
